What's blocking your weight loss?
You've changed what you eat. You've moved your body. The scale has its own opinion.
That is not a discipline problem. When a woman over 40 is doing the work and her body won't respond, there is usually something running underneath it — and most of the time it is one of three things: sleep, stress, or inflammation.
Fourteen questions. About three minutes. It won't diagnose you. It will suggest which one to look at first.

Where should I send your result?
Your result is on the next screen either way. Your email puts you on my list, where I share what I am working on.
Each block is scored against its own questions, so they compare fairly. Higher means more signal, not a diagnosis.
What's coming
In January I am opening Perimenopause Fat Loss Foundations, a 21-day program built on what I've seen work for hundreds of women in my practice: recovery, nutrition, movement and strength, in that order, in bite-sized pieces you can actually put into practice.
What you just read is where it starts. The program is what comes after. Waitlist members get first access and the best price.
Join the waitlistAnd if you live in Colorado, Washington or Arizona, I can work with you directly at Avra Health, my medical practice.
This is education, not medical care. What you read here is how I think about these things and where I would start looking — it is not a plan for you, and reading it does not make you my patient. A quiz cannot diagnose anything and it is no substitute for working with your own doctor. If you have chest pain, shortness of breath at rest, unexplained weight loss, or any bleeding after menopause — that is a call to your doctor today, not a quiz.
